Traffic delays, detours expected near Southwestern

Construction will close some campus entrances

Chula Vista  Commuters can expect detours and 15-minute delays around Southwestern College during the city of Chula Vista’s expansion of Otay Lakes Road. Construction has also caused the closure of some entrances to the college campus.

The Elmhurst Street entrance to the college will be closed to pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles through Tuesday. The Gotham Street entrance will be closed from Tuesday until about July 17.

Additionally, the Otay Lakes Road entrance at the south end of the campus into student lots B and C will be closed from July 18 to about Aug. 3.

All MTS bus routes will continue as scheduled, but stops will be made on Otay Lakes Road during construction. The buses will not enter the college campus.
